Abstract

This article aims to explore the practical influence of interdisciplinary education on improving university students' innovative thinking ability. By designing and implementing a series of empirical studies, the data of undergraduates from different grades and majors in a comprehensive university are collected and analyzed by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The analysis results show that interdisciplinary education has significantly improved the innovative thinking ability of university students, and the participation of interdisciplinary education is the key factor affecting the improvement of innovative thinking ability. In addition, it is found that interdisciplinary projects and practical activities are effective ways to cultivate students' innovative thinking ability. Through in-depth interviews and case analysis, the positive role of interdisciplinary education in broadening students' horizons, stimulating innovative thinking and improving self-confidence in facing future challenges is further verified.
